The Saline County Library is in the middle of a food drive with a goal of providing food to 125 local kids for 8 weeks. They are asking businesses and organizations to hold food drives to help reach that goal. The top 3 organizations who donate the most food items will earn a brick with their name on it at the upcoming playground at the Benton branch.
MySaline is participating by purchasing food with a portion of the proceeds from the 2019 Annual Yard Wars flea market event. If you are interested in holding a drive or would like more information, please contact Kari Beesly at salinecountycommunications@
